I sent out this plea yesterday for this dog coming into our care today at noon. Please if you could even send $1.00 towards her surgery..it would HELP so much Surgery will take place this week by a specialist at Alta Vista Animal Hospital..So far we have collected nearly $500.00. As a Sanctuary we D...

You know why I feel so stupid as well?? this is a seizure disorder..Me who has been dealing with epi's/seizures for 15 years had no clue..

I guess you learn some things the very difficult way..

Well now he is back to being his "sweet beagle" self..asked to come out of his crate with tailwags and kisses, wanting to play with our dog in our dog park... rolled around in the muddy snow, happy as can be..took the opportunity to put gentle muzzle on in the process he did not mind a bit...

Dr Dodman suggests possible anti-convulsants (seizure meds) be used in rage. I have put in a call to Tufts..but you are right, I feel as though time is running out and I am somehow letting this dog down. first thing..the dog should NOT be here. I take in special medical cases ONLY..and although I do...

He is having another "bad day" today...he is terorrizing the weakest dog, will not even let him into the room. The beagle walked into his crate and shut the door (yes he does this on his own) Now everytime I walk by, or anything else moves he is growling, lunging against his crate door. I ...

Thanks for your tips..we have already ruled out epilepsy as this is controlled. He also will pick on the weakest dog in the pack whenever he sees fit as well. (not a good thing when you are a Sanctuary with all in weakend states at various degree's..but he KNOWS who is weakest and seeks him out on o...

We have had a beagle here in rescue for over a year and a half. He was sent to us from a HS with a "serious heart murmur". Got him here, two Vet's checked..no murmur..huh?? After about a month or so of him being at the Sanctuary, he appeared to be a nice beagle, so we put him up for adopti...

Just another FYI (oh goodness I am a blabber mouth you can say it!!)

We have a saying anytime someone "new" enters our Sanctuary door..

"I promise never to give up on you, unless you want me too.."

Just another tidbit bubble that errupts from my brain every now and then!

How about something like this.... “I’m a fish.” she said, “I’m supposed to swim.” “I don’t understand why I can’t.” She looked at Jane with her big sad eyes. “You’re trying so hard.” Jane said. “I won’t give up on you ever but you have to keep trying. We’ll get through this together. You’re not sick...

She survived (cost us over $3000.00 as she had every disease and parasite I am sure when she came to us plus the amputation).had the amputation done and spayed at the same time, Then was adopted with her smallest son (the little runt..he was cute!!) to a wonderful family who had just lost their 15 y...

Hey great to see you here, and thank you for the kind words..that means alot. as you know the 'special ones" are the ones am truly grateful that I may be able to help.. Not sure if you remember or not but we took in Sierra the Husky, that was abused and required a leg amputation..she also came ...

For us here at the Sanctuary..I use neither..We call them all "Special Needs'" I do not know the "politically correct" word, but I have never considered any of our rescues to be anything else..they just have "special requirements and needs"..are not handicapped or disab...

Jane small small world!! If you get the Citizen you have probably read about us..just not knowing us! We were the group that drove down to help during Hurricane Katrina...and also our Tazzy Dog (given crack cocaine)and Mon Ami were both big stories (when Ami broke his legs..we managed to fundraise e...

Kelli, I have just one question... What took you so long to join us?? Thank you so much everyone for your kind words..and Paul, to answer your question, I have NO IDEA why it took so long, other than I never knew about this site..luckily I stumbled upon it somehow..and here I am :) Christmas was a ...

As I await for the children to come downstairs in excitment, I prepared accordingly..for the big day.. Got up super early..put all the dogs out, gave everyone their meds, eye creams's, ear drops, epi meds, heart meds, anti-biotics to the cat that just had it's eye removed...then on went on to feed e...
